sit your ass down. here. no here.
Finally, chairs that behave. And follow you, from the scent of your behind. Or your library card. Not sure. This is the most awesome invention ever. Not just for the chair, but for the products that are sure to follow.
I'll never have to carry my 65 pound messenger bag around again. To hell with a laptop - let's have the full on desktop machine follow me to meetings. And a wagon of jackets and clothes, so that when I forget that it's cold out, and need to change. I can't wait to live in a world where everything that I need just follows me around.
Awesome find from Orange Element.

free.
Find 40ish minutes today, stop everything and watch this clip. Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine, and author of the Long Tail talks about Free (the subject of his coming book.) This was his keynote speech at Nokia World.
This is a must watch for internet workers, marketers, branding people or anyone in business. Geez, this guy just drips with smarts. Found on Core 77.

financial people are here. it's real.
There's been speculation for some time now that credit card companies would someday offer cards that provided rewards in the virtual world. Places like World of Warcraft, or Second Life. That time has come.
VISA just announced their World of Warcraft credit card. Earn World of Warcraft rewards while you spend dough in meatspace. Thanks Devon!

Math nerds, beware!
There's a cruel streak to public television fund raising. They present a marathon of all their best programming but make you suffer through overly-earnest appeals at maddeningly frequent intervals. But for you, I suffered, just to see a replay of a talk by Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind and previously Free Agent Nation. If you're reading this blog he's got good news for you:
"The future—the near future, at that—belongs to the right-brained."
His theory is that right-brained strengths such as creativity, play, innovation, empathy—and design will be the dominant capabilities in the emerging economy. That whole left-brained thing is so ten synaptic impulses ago. He did an interview with Howdesign.com that lays out his premise nicely. You can also check out his blog. Don't you love hearing that you're poised to take over the world, just by being you?
